Oops, sent without completing what I needed to say.

After you find out that other people are working in the vicinity,
some of them even may be working on the same itch you had, instead
of silently letting them continue, join the conversation and help
them polish their work.  You can give reviews, you can supply test
cases, you can polish their documentation, etc.

Let's make this a team effort, not authors completing against each
other, or authors working on their own thing without paying any
attention to what others are doing.

Thanks.
